Day 9 - (Break from walking day) Take the ferry to Korcula and visit one of the most treasured islands on the Adriatic. Korcula is located further from the mainland than its sister-islands, Hvar and Brac and is therefore a little less crowded.

This is one of the most demanding hikes of the program but also one of the most beautiful! Retire back to your hotel on Korcula Island for a well deserved, restful evening.
Kocje Nature Reserve, Korcula Island
Relax in nature at the Kocje Reserve on Korcula Island and soak up some more mother nature!
Day 11 - (3 hours walking) 
​Enjoy an easy day of hiking as you head to the Kocje Natural Forest Reserve on Korcula Island. The reserve is a particularly interesting area since the vegetation there is completely different from the rest of the island. It’s made of very large limestone monoliths surrounded by big green oaks that form an amazing natural labyrinth.  Spend the afternoon at your leisure at the beach or in Korcula town.
Fortress in Ston, Croatia
Visit the small fortress town of Ston and sample some oysters fresh from the sea.
Day 12 - After breakfast at your hotel, set off to your next destination on the way to Dubrovnik, which is the city of Ston. Ston is home to what has been nicknamed, The Great Wall of Croatia.

Day 13 - (3-4 hours walking) 
After breakfast at your hotel, hike from the Ombla river spring to Srdj mountain and Dubrovnik old town. The picturesque Ombla River is one of the shortest rivers in the world (approx. 300m long) and flows into the Rijeka Dubrovačka embayment of the Adriatic Sea. From there you will climb Mount Srdj very to finish at the top, overlooking Dubrovnik’s Old Town.
